A Treatise of Human Nature V1 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161385892)

A Treatise of Human Nature V1 is a philosophical work by the renowned Scottish philosopher David Hume. The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of human nature. In the first part, Hume discusses the nature of knowledge and argues that all knowledge is derived from experience. He also explores the concept of causation and argues that it is not a necessary connection between events, but rather a product of our mental habits. In the second part, Hume delves into the passions and emotions that drive human behavior. He argues that reason alone cannot motivate us and that our actions are ultimately driven by our desires and emotions. Hume also explores the nature of morality and argues that moral judgments are based on sentiment rather than reason. In the third part, Hume examines the nature of human belief and skepticism. He argues that our beliefs are based on habit and custom rather than reason or evidence. He also explores the limits of human knowledge and argues that we can never have certain knowledge about the world beyond our immediate experience. Overall, A Treatise of Human Nature V1 is a groundbreaking work in the history of philosophy that challenges many of the traditional assumptions about human nature and knowledge. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy or the nature of human understanding.1898. Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766154106. Volume 1 of 2.
